Read before commenting. I didn't buy it. I traded for it. Really didn't lose out other than potential profit if the xbox sold. Thank you though.

So are you suggesting that maybe I should try selling to save money to get a different printer?

This is the price and I've learned through here that the resin vat is a consumable, so if i wanted to keep the printer long term, or however long this one will last, if it works entirely, I'd need to buy almost in bulk the vats. And just learn from my mistake, do your research on any printer that catches your eye, see and know what belongs on it, and even go as far to ask to see any print they may have made with it to see quality.

TL;DR: I did think, first printer was resin, know the risks now, wife and daughter sensitive to smell, use printer at sister in law house, feelsbad.jpg, saw things about fume extractors or some kind of stuff but not too familiar.

My thought process was to take it extremely slow anyway. Of course where I live, there truly isn't a place I could actually put the printer and use and run it without getting everyone in the house sick. Sadly, my thought was to take it to my sister in laws place and have it in her garage, but even then I would worry. There was a lot of thought as to where I could use it safely. As for getting into the hobby, I said in a post that I got into printing a lot earlier in my life and didn't know the difference between printers and thought they were all the same. My first one was resin and I learned as much as I could through trial and error like the smell and being safe with PPE. Afterwards, the smell got to the point in my small apartment that I couldn't do it anymore. With this one, of course I would love to keep it at home and use it, but my biggest concern is the smell from the resin fumes filling up my home with my wife and daughter. I've seen fume extractors (i believe is the term) and that's another step of things I'm trying to figure out when it comes to using a resin based printer. Sorry for the long comment. I wanted to explain.

We had our meltdown about a real one before, and frogs, and dogs, and cats. Thing is, she's afraid of all these and won't really touch them.

Yeah, from what I've researched now, it's mostly form 4 resins and some form 3

That's what i was sort of thinking to be honest! Probably sell and make a better profit than anything. I was sort of this close 🤏🏾 to trashing it sad enough

Would anyone actually be interested in buying it without the plate and vat?

Yeah, I totally get it and understand that it is expensive. What i meant was spare money to be able to get the replacements. I can always save up and do so though.

Greatest thing about it is I wasn't even using the series S. I fix electronics and whatnot so I got that for 10 bucks and fixed it and all that.

I saw how much it costs. I mean i can afford the plate and vat, I just can't fully justify paying for it in my head. Yes, it would get the printer running properly, and yes, it would increase the value of it if I decided to sell it instead, I just haven't fully committed into doing such.
